EAT > Le Foote, Sydney (14/20)

It seems that every new exciting restaurant in Sydney is either a Merrivale or Swillhouse venture. And Le Foote is no exception. It is down in Sydney's Rocks district in a large heritage listed venue that rambles between numerous different bar and dining areas. Swillhouse venues (Restaurant Hubert and Alberto Lounge) are…

EAT > Bar Topa, Sydney (14/20)

"Lets have a quiet night, just a glass of wine and some tapas". Famous last words as we ambled down to Bar Topa which sits in amongst the throng of busy restaurants in the Merrivale owned "Ivy" district off George Street in Sydney's lower CBD towards the rocks. Bar Topa is a smart…

EAT > Parlar Restaurant – Potts Point

Over the years there have been some very fine eateries in Maclay Street, Potts Point. You could slip out of the sleaze of Kings Cross walking down Darlinghurst Road to arrive in the style of Potts Point, eat something delicious and then wind your way back to one of the many late night dens for…

EAT > Restaurant Hubert is magic

MAGIC Restaurant Hubert is very hard to position, when you describe it to people who have never visited before it is a bit like describing time travel. Imagine opening an unassuming door under a city office tower, descending down a flight of stairs with rich wood panelling and oddly miniature spirit bottles in…

EAT > Beppi’s The Original

When people refer to a restaurant as being an institution, they are talking about a place that has been around for 10+ years, but with Beppi's it really is an institution and has been operating out of the same location for approaching 70 years. Started in 1956 by Beppi Polese who with his wife…

EAT > Taruhachi Bento

Down a flight of stairs, past a coffee and focaccia bar, and barber shop there are a few high chairs lined up outside a mysterious door. I walked past this door not really noticing for nearly two years, until this week I ventured inside and was immediately transported to back to Japan. …
